Bialetti Moka Express.

A clever tea maker / mug all-in-one. I imported it from China, it’s not expensive or anything, it does use Tritan for this steeping chamber thing where it only decants at like a 45° angle. I have some food containers I use for lunch which use the same plastic and they work well, don’t get stained. Hope it doesn’t have some new kind of cancer or medical issue associated with it, I’ll update this post in ~15 years if that’s the case.

Generally, don’t use plastics with food, especially if it’s hot

Humble Bundle. Individually they are under 50 so I count it. Humble Choice is 12/month and I have gotten some of my favorite games I play on PC through there. I also have purchased many of the book bundles to expand my knowledge on particular topics.

I got a Swiss army knife and it has come in handy quite a bit.

bluetooth headphones. love being able to stay active without the buds yanking out of my ears all the time.

DudeDudenson , 7 months ago

Bluetooth noise canceling headphones is where it’s at. I’m particularly enjoying my Anker soundcore Q30 and they were fairly cheap.

The noise cancelling on them isn’t perfect but damn if it isn’t better than just regular headphones

Yep. I was the first and the last to rip on Apple for getting rid of the headphone jack… but wireless headphones are just superior in terms of what you can do. You can start a video, walk to the kitchen to check on something, walk back, do laundry

A bidet

kattenluik , 7 months ago

People always underestimate how awesome bidets are when they haven’t tried one.

a good meal or a good wine, both better with SO or friends; ticket to a good music event (not a festival)

A youtube premium subscription

Ah, you mean Firefox and ublock origin? I love free stuff!

A kitchen paper holder that you can mount to a wall, shelf, etc, and that has a stopping mechanism so that it allows you to rip some paper off the roll with just one hand. Absolute kitchen game changer.

I’ve been looking for one of these for parchment. Any recommendations?

Have you asked the ancient Egyptians?

rbos , 7 months ago

Dead, unfortunately, and I don’t read hieroglyph :(

jrburkh , 7 months ago

Also, papyrus sucks.

amelia , 7 months ago

I have no idea if they exist for parchment too. I got one like this:

Vampiric_Luma , 7 months ago

Give any roll a tight tug outward to apply pressure to the tear line without yanking the whole roll down - then immediately rip across the line.

The final rip acts both as a means of stripping the paper off and a redirection of the initial tug energy.

Eventually you should be able to rip any sheets with one hand. Or get paper everywhere like a silly cat sometimes. A fun alternative though. :)

• the cape sundew I keep on my windowsill. As someone with a lot of house plants, it has been a godsend for keeping flies and other pests out of the house.
• my first aid kit. You never want to need one of these, but I’ve been glad to have it close to hand a fair few times

Body pillow. I got one off of Amazon for like $30-$40 on a whim to try out sleeping with one. Can’t even imagine trying to sleep without it anymore

jbk , 7 months ago

dolitehgreat , 7 months ago

You don’t have to get weird anime covers for you body pillow. There’s just normal covers lol.

AOCapitulator , 7 months ago

Ho_Chi_Chungus , 7 months ago

jbk , 7 months ago

ha yeha knew it

IzyaKatzmann , 7 months ago

I have a dog-shaped teddy bear which I almost need to support my arms. It has such a novel shape as a pillow, there are so many uses compared to a rectangular/square cube or tube.
